      @jenithornhill Cute design! I especially love the running pose, the stripy pants so suit him. I believe we can submit more then 1 entry for the contest, can't wait to see the other 2 of yours.

        @aurelia Oh it would be great if I can enter more than one. I am afraid I won't be able to choose! Thank you!

              @LauraA the image doesn't have to be square, it just needs to be sized to fit in the template, if that makes any sense๐Ÿ˜„ As for the background info, a sentence or two is great! Just enough to get a feel for the character๐Ÿ‘

                    Took the time to flesh out a character I came up with a while back. I inked this traditionally in one shot so I wouldn't worry about overthinking the challenge. Had a lot of fun with this one! SaigoCharacterDesign.jpg

                              I keep putting this off until I run out of time but I actually got it finished this month! As always, I am excited to see what you guys come up with. ๐Ÿ™‚

                                Here is my second Frost Pirate character sheet. This guy has a pet penguin who I love. I have to say, working out these illustrations has really been helping me flesh out the characters for writing the book. I think I may continue doing this for character in future novels!FB_IMG_1632620755146.jpg

                                      Hello! This will be my first participation and I was wondering if it's ok if my characters are in black and white, but I used an old yellow paper as a background?(texture in digital) thank you ๐Ÿ™‚

                                            All the artwork everyone is posting is super great!

                                            It's been a hot minute since I posted anything. It felt I was just grinding at life for the better part of a year so it was time for a vacation ๐Ÿ˜› So I took the last 2 months off and figured I'd jump back into the fray for Inktober.

                                            Here's a character I got some inspiration for and after some concepts I ran with it (among other things I just kept making the hat bigger and bigger lol). She's a kind of interdimensional sprite that can draw and paint creatures or objects into reality. For a few thousand years old she's pretty naive, but a lot of fun to hang out with.
